You take your test on a 50cc moped.
Once the test has been passed you obtain a restricted licence only allowing you to ride up to a 50cc moped.

You take your tests on a 125cc motorcycle.
Once the test has been passed you obtain a restricted licence to ride a 125cc motorcycle only.
You can ride without L plates, carry passengers and use motorways.
This licence does not upgrade.

If you wish to ride larger motorcycles then you can do one of the below:
a) Wait 2 years on the A1 licence then re-take Module 1 and 2 for the A2 licence.
b) Wait until you are 19 - if this is short of 2 years of holding the A1 licence you must retake a
theory test and sit Module 1 and 2 again for the A2 licence.
c) Wait until you are 24 to sit Module 1 and 2 again for a full category A motorcycle licence.

19+ (A2 Middle Bike Licence):
You take your test on a restricted 500cc (to 47bhp).
Once the test has been passed you obtain a A2 licence allowing you to ride motorcycles up to 500cc.*
You can ride without L plates, carry passengers and use motorways.

*You cannot restrict motorcycles that are twice the power - i.e no motorcycle of greater than 70kw/94bhp.
You can ride without L plates, carry passengers and use motorways. 

In order to ride a larger motorcycle you can do the following:
a) Hold a A2 licence for 2 years and sit Mod 1 and Mod 2 again on a 600cc (minimum power of 40kw/54bhp) - this will then be a full Category A licence (as below)
b) Wait until you are 24 and complete the Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests.

24+ - Full Unrestricted Category A Licence
If you are 24+ or held a A2 licence for 2 years you can ride any size motorcycle without restriction.

In our experience, we find that most people only need between 2 - 4 training sessions to obtain a motorcycle licence. 
The total cost can be paid in installments spread out over the duration of your training course. Deposits are required in order to secure your booking.

*All training sessions include an instructor debrief as well as necessary short breaks.

​

Here at ART we pre-book test slots at the Basildon Test Centre. Available times can be confirmed and booked at any time. This could be as soon as the following week or within a four week period.

Please note during the summer months availability is a lot more restricted due to demand.

It is simply based on the individuals ability and progression through training.

Dependent on available test dates, we help our students to obtain a licence as soon as possible. You are able to complete your licence within a week or two but a premium cost may be charged*

We recommend you to complete your full or restricted licence as soon as possible after your CBT and theory test due to the 2 year validity.

Dependent on available test dates we help our students obtain a licence as soon as possible.
You are able to complete your licence within a week or two but a premium cost may be charged*

To avoid disappointment please visit our contact us to discuss your options.


*If you do not allow 5 working days between your Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests you would be required to pay a test fee if you were to fail Mod 1. This is simply because you would need a new Mod 2 test date and we would be unable to give valid notice to avoid obtaining a fee. This is a policy set by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency)

Here at ART we have a fantastic team of instructors that help you prepare for your test and will advise on any extra training they feel is necessary to get you test ready.

Rules set by the DSA (Driving Standards Agency)
If you were to fail Mod 1 you have to wait three working days before you are able to re-do the test.
If you were to fail Mod 2 you have to wait 10 working days before you are able to re-do the test.

Mod 1 re-test - £90
Mod 2 re-test - £209

You do not need a theory test in order to do your CBT.

You do need a theory test certificate to allow us to book your Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests. You may complete your training without a theory certificate but this is not recommended.
